Washington, D.C. — On April 1st, U.S. Congresswoman Lauren Boebert (CO-04) introduced a House Resolution condemning the wave of domestic terrorism attacks targeting Tesla cars and dealerships. Since President Donald Trump tasked Elon Musk to lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), there has been a disturbing trend of attacks targeting Tesla cars and dealerships, including multiple attacks on the Loveland, CO Tesla dealership in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District.
Rep. Boebert’s resolution is co-sponsored by Rep. Andy Biggs (AZ-05), Rep. Byron Donalds (FL-19), Rep. Brandon Gill (TX-26), Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (FL-13), Rep. Nancy Mace (SC-01), Rep. Barry Moore (AL-01), Rep. Troy Nehls (TX-22), Rep. Andy Ogles (TN-05), and Rep. Greg Steube (FL-17).
“The definition of terrorism is the unlawful use of violence and intimidation in the pursuit of political aims. That is exactly what has been going on across the country at Tesla dealerships, and it is what innocent Americans who chose Tesla as their preferred vehicle are facing in the wake of violence from Radical Left-Wing domestic terrorists who hate President Donald Trump and Elon Musk.
My House Resolution will make clear where all Members of Congress stand: do they condemn domestic terrorism against Tesla, or do they endorse it completely? The American people deserve to know where their representatives stand when it comes to condemning domestic terrorism,” said Congresswoman Boebert.
